Lush Oasis near Lake Michigan
Fernwood Grove is perfectly situated off a private road that hugs Lake Michigan. Pull into the heavily wooded neighborhood with gorgeous 100-year-old trees, and you will be immediately greeted by Fernwood's lush English garden. Take a seat around the fire pit in the hedge garden, bubble about in the hot tub under a vine-covered arbor, relax inside by the fireplace, or try your hand at some ping pong or foosball in the lower level recreation room. The world is your oyster at Fernwood Grove!

Welcome to the Heart of the Art Coast!
Fernwood Grove is located in the beautifully lush town of Fennville. Towering trees lining a private road hugging Lake Michigan lead you to believe you are miles from civilization, when in fact you are mere minutes from some of the best culture Michigan has to offer! This area has been developing over the years and has quickly become a hotspot on the travel map, with its cute cafes, delicious restaurants, abundance of wineries and breweries, and plentiful orchards.
Only 5 minutes up the road you land in the darling towns of Saugatuck & Douglas. These sister towns have a storied history of incredible beauty, divine cuisine, and a killer art scene. From small businesses that have been operating for decades to fresh, new popups, there is something for everyone in this thriving cultural center voted Best Beach Town by Midwest Living Magazine.
The nearby Oval Beach is only 10 minutes away, and Conde Nast Traveler has ranked it in the top 25 best shorelines in the world! That's right, the WORLD! State-known hiking and biking trails fill the area, and gorgeous state parks with majestic forested dunes line the shoreline. There is no shortage of incredible offerings no matter what you're into. Chill at the house and take in the peaceful surroundings, head into town for shopping and dining, hit the trails and immerse yourself in nature, or bask on one of the many beaches along the shoreline. We'll be right here waiting for you! ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Great property!
We stayed for a long Memorial Day Weekend and had the most amazing time! Check-in/check out was a breeze, home was very clean, dogs were super comfortable, and everything we needed was very accessible. The house was super cozy and we felt right at home. Definitely plan to stay here again in the future!

Wonderful Getaway Location
This is a wonderful getaway in Saugatuck Township. A beautiful wooded lot very close to Lake Michigan and strolls along scenic Lakeshore Drive. We found the hosts to be incredibly gracious, and the accommodations very clean and comfortable. We particularly loved the numerous conversation areas on the front deck and back patio.

Ferngrove Fun
We had a wonderful stay at this charming cottage! It was cute, clean, and well-stocked, making us feel right at home from the moment we arrived. The neighborhood was peaceful, with beautiful tall trees creating a lovely backdrop. Our dog especially loved the fun, fenced-in yard, and we enjoyed morning walks along the lake—such a perfect way to start the day. Plus, the nearby restaurants in town were fantastic! We couldn’t have asked for a better getaway and would absolutely stay here again.

Perfection
Fernwood Grove was perfect for our annual family vacation. It was exactly as described in the listing, serene. The neighborhood is quiet, clean, and close to the Lake Michigan shoreline. Check in/out was a breeze, and communication with Philip was great. The property was spotless upon arrival, the yard was luscious. The added touches did not go unnoticed. A lovely coffee bar, extra trash bags, laundry soap, supplies for the pups, nice televisions in all bedroom spaces, and a well supplied kitchen. Location was perfect in relation to Saugatuck, Douglas, and Holland. We would definitely return to the property and would recommend to anyone looking for a place near Saugatuck.
